IDMP Compliance Made Easy
Boost Regulatory Compliance and Data Consistency with Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) for Life Sciences
In an industry where every second counts and data can make or break a clinical breakthrough, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies are under unprecedented pressure. Regulatory demands loom large as organizations must align with the global IDMP (Identification of Medicinal Products) standards mandated by the EMA and FDA. With non-compliance carrying steep fines – increased to higher than ever before in 2025 – and operational setbacks, the time to act is now.
The Data Dilemma: Why Urgency is Key
Imagine managing an ocean of data flowing from countless sources. Each medicinal product, every clinical detail, and each packaging nuance must be captured, standardized, and shared with accuracy. This is not just about maintaining regulatory alignment - it’s about ensuring product and patient safety, streamlining supply chains, enhancing market access, and preparing for shortages or demand fluctuations. When data inconsistencies and submission delays creep in, the stakes rise dramatically: fines can reach up to 5% of annual revenue, and even the most minor oversight might lead to significant operational disruptions.

All pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations handling medicinal product information must be IDMP compliant or face penalties including fines of up to 5% of annual revenue, and potential reputational damage for violations. While previous fines in the industry have been significant, the EMA introduced stricter enforcement and higher fines for non-compliance in 2025.
